Color manage browsers to view sRGB

I've had problems with this before on here, but I'm still stumped a little and am unsure if I am getting managed color in Safari 4 or Firefox 3.

Safari:

I read Safari is automatically color managed and it is linked to the ICC profile the display is using.

I use a colorimeter for monitor calibration and my display profile is set to that created profile. Am I getting accurate colors with Safari? I just want to be able to view sRGB correctly.

Firefox:

I did a google search and frequently come up with the steps of:

1) type 'about:config' in the address line
2) then change 'gfx.color_management_​enabled' to 'true'

The problem is that I don't have that preference! The closest thing I have is below. And for the value it isn't 'true' or false' but it links to a color profile. Why don't I have that preference from #2? Is my browser color managed currently though?

gfx.color_management.d​isplay_profile

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Pr​ofiles/Recommended/sRG​B Color Space Profile.icm
---------------

Any help would be very appreciated!

What version of Firefox? In the more recent ones (say 3.5.X and up) the entry in about:config will be gfx.color_management_m​ode, with parameters of 0, 1, or 2. Unfortunately, in 3.5.X and 3.6 using 1 or 2 can result in "bad" display of some images due to the way Firefox implements color management.


Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

I use Safari for Windows and it works very well.

Thanks that works.

What I need now for Firefox is to locate the icc profile that the Pantone Huey software created, but I did an extensive search and I can't find anything.
:cry:

It will be in the OS's color directory. I don't know the path in a Mac, but if you run a search for files with the .icc extension you will quickly find it.
